How Do You Explain Clouds?
Cloud is the visible suspended form of water droplets, transparent pieces of frozen water, or other particles in the atmosphere (sky) of the planet. When the sun's rays hit or fall on the water, the water evaporates. These vapors are pushed into the earth's atmosphere by the wind. The density of water increases because of a decrease in the air temperature. Evaporation (gas) turns into ice cubes or drops of water; the accumulated form of these droplets or pieces of ice is called a cloud. The study of clouds is called Nephology. It is a branch of Meteorology.
Clouds are not only water vapor, they cause of the beauty of our earth that sometimes blocks the scorching sun like an umbrella. And sometimes the thirsty earth and its inhabitants quench their thirst with their drops and if they get angry, they also bring destruction in the form of floods.
Different Types Of Clouds
1. The Weight Of Cloud
2. Cirrus Cloud
This form of clouds is called the Cirrus cloud. Normally visible clouds comprise tiny drops of water, but this form of clouds is formed when the water in the atmosphere evaporates into crystals. It becomes frozen (ice); and then the strong-wind breaks the ice crystals into pieces, creating their beautiful shape in the air.
3. Virga Cloud
This structure is formed when raindrops from the clouds evaporate before they reach the earth and become clouds again. This happens when the atmosphere underground is parched.
4. Contrail Cloud
Contrail is a type of cloud. Most of the clouds in the sky appear naturally, but some clouds are formed by humans. They are actually caused by smoke coming out of an aircraft engine. When the plane's engine releases this smoke into the air, the moisture in it turns into clouds because of cooling.
5. Supercell Cloud
There is a need to be a little worried when you see this structure of clouds because seeing such clouds often makes a person panic. This storm cloud, called a supercell, contains a storm of rainwater that, if it rains heavily, carries everything on the ground with it.
6. Anvil Clouds
These umbrella-shaped and beautiful-looking clouds form before storm surges are called anvil clouds.
7. Shelf Clouds
This cloud structure is usually seen in spring and summer. It is a long wedge shape cloud. They look very close to the ground, like shelves in the air.
8. Mammatus Cloud
These clouds, which look like thick cotton cheeks, are called Mammatus clouds. But be prepared if you see such beautiful looking clouds in the air because the weather is going to be terrible. They are usually caused by severe thunderstorms.
9. Halo Cloud
The beautiful-looking halos are visible when the light of the sun or moon passes through the ice crystals of the cirrus clouds in the atmosphere.
10. Roll Clouds
These clouds are like shelf clouds that are usually formed by a strong wind on a shore above the sea, and it looks as if the wind has rolled the clouds around.
